Two F1 Champs/Two NSX owner
- Thread starter dxd
- Start date
Not F1, but Jimmy Vassar too.
Wasn't it Bobby Rahal that help with the original development (in addition to Senna)? Did he own one, also?
Honda is still giving out NSX's to IRL drivers. I know that the Rapha Matos just got one.
Paul Tracy sold his a few years back.
A quick search at work (i.e. most sites are blocked) found these famous NSX owners...
Aryton Senna,
Alex Zanardi,
Eddie Jordan,
Rick Mears,
Gordon Murray,
Keichi Tsuchiya,
Steve Amgwert,
Bobby Rahal,
Paul Tracy,
Jimmy Vasser,
Jenson Button...
add more if you know any.
This to Doc,
Now what's this about Honda giving out NSXs still? I'm very curious about that. Why would they do that - are these drivers of their race cars?

Thanks Dubai
Interesting, did he turn it into a "rat-rod" too?:biggrin:, faux rust, whitewalls and baby-moon hubcaps?
He won 2009 rookie of the year, drives for a good team, and the IRL runs Honda motors exclusively. :wink:

Isn't it weird though for Honda to hand out used cars? 
Bill Gates,
Not a race car driver , but needs to be added to the ' famous list ' -
Montel Williams - Blk/Blk 99' ? sold 2002
I saw this car in person about 2 years ago at Dali Racing's Boostzilla Open House event in San Diego. A owner here on Prime picked it up when it went for sale.
It had a comptech supercharger and a crazy aftermarket sound system. It had Wings West side skirt and rear spats. I think he had a Procar NSXR spoiler on it. Brembo brakes. 18/19 Falken Rims.
One of the 2 drivers was a 3x world champion driving a car powered by Honda.
The other a journeyman who happened to be in the right place at the right time, winning a world championship in a car powered by Mercedes.
Just my perspective (and opinion) about Button, I guess. Zanardi was a multiple year Champ Car Champion.
MINER
Does anyone know if Button still has his NSX?
His wiki page doesn't list the NSX as one of his cars:

Well, both were given to from Honda. I'm sure Senna enjoyed the car considering the mileage on it, but Button was probably more of a company car.
I do know Pharrell Williams (Famous Recording Artist) owns a NSX also.
